Gaelle Baumann moved all in for 25,300. The small blind called before Ian Bohuon three-bet all in from the big blind. The small blind folded and the cards were turned over.

Gaelle Baumann: {4-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}
Ian Bohuon: {k-Diamonds}{k-Clubs}

The board ran out {j-Spades}{k-Spades}{5-Clubs}{k-Hearts}{a-Spades} giving Bohuon quads and sending Baumann to the rail. Bohuon was the grateful recipient of a commemorative button stating that he eliminated the Winamax Team Pro, as well as a voucher for a bottle at the TheatrO night club here at the Es Saadi Resort, Marrakech.

Former Champion Sgorrano Back for More After Spell at the Pool

Level 9 : 800/1,600, 200 ante
Jerome Sgorrano
Jerome Sgorrano

Earlier, 2015 Winamax SISMIX Champion Jerome Sgorrano had a brief spell at the tables - no good. And, after spending some time "sampling the atmosphere" of the pool party, he's back for more.

On his return, we asked him what happened on his first bullet on Day 1b.

"I lasted twenty minutes," he said. "I tried to bluff a French guy - no good. After that I lost {a-}{k-} against {a-}{a-} in a four-bet pot. Finally, my ten blinds went in with {a-}{4-} against {3-}{3-}.

The flop came {k-}{q-}{q-}. I say 'Ok, that's good for me!' Turn was a {3-}!"

Sgorrano says that he has extra motivation to win the fifth edition of the Winamax SISMIX - national pride.

"There have been two French winners (Bruno Lopes & Hugo Larachiche) and two Belgian winners (Sgorrano and Davidi Kitai). I try to win it a second time. I have to! I expect it's me or a Belgian friend who will win it.

Every player who comes here goes away with good memories of the gorgeous Marrakech weather, and the atmosphere at the tables, but what does Sgorrano like most about the Winamax SISMIX?

"It's a combination of all the things," he said. "The sun? Very good. The pool parties? Very good. And it's a six-max tournament which means it's aggressive. The chips are coming and going and I like to play aggressive. I like it very much."

Contrasting Tournaments for Winamax Team Pros

Level 8 : 600/1,200, 200 ante
Leo Margets
Leo Margets

A player opened to 2,600 and Winamax Team Pro Leo Margets three-bet to 7,500. Her opponent called but check-folded to a continuation bet from his opponent on the {8-Hearts}{9-Hearts}{k-Hearts} board. Margets sits on just about 100,000.

Meanwhile, former champion Bruno Lopes opened to 2,800 and the small blind called. The pair checked the flop and turn of {a-Spades}{8-Diamonds}{10-Spades}{2-Spades} and his opponent bet 5,000 on the {6-Hearts} river. Lopes called quickly, but mucked when shown {q-Hearts}{10-Hearts}.

"Value," he said, stacking up his 57,000 in chips.

Fellow Winamax Team Pro Gaelle Baumann sits on 19,500, while Sylvain Loosli is the pick of the bunch with 125,000.
